I like what I like, and I'm too old to bother trying to like what I don't like. Sure, I like Captain America, it's at the top of my list. I also liked Countdown. I enjoyed Identity Crisis. I like New Avengers and Mighty Avengers. And it's a little early to tell, but I see no evidence so far that I won't like Titans.
Aaand...I like milk chocolate better than dark by a significant margin; love Nero Wolfe mysteries; prefer my wine sweet, red and cheap; fully enjoy watching old Irwin Allen shows on TV; enjoy an occasional Big Mac; hate skins in my potato salad; and will watch any movie Bela Lugosi ever made as often as they care to show them.
This, I think, is proof positive that you can't really correlate the pleasure taken from anything in this world with the quality assigned to it.

Hear, hear! There's definitely a sort of peer pressure, or at least herd instinct, involved in what "everyone" thinks is good or bad. I call it the basher mentality (since it was the bashing phenomenon in Trek fandom that first brought home to me what was going on). We're all guilty of it sometimes, but I'm always glad to see someone else notice and resist.
